    Only a small portion of their delicious pastries available
    Marissa B.

    The first time I visited Chez Michel, the line was practically out the door! I believe it was a holiday weekend, but clearly Chez Michel is where you need to go for a good pastry! On a slower day, their staff is always friendly and willing to answer questions. The patisserie is bright and clean, and the display cases are well maintained. I love their variety of quiches and always enjoy trying something new each time I visit, BUT I can never pass on a frangipane croissant.

    I arrived here around 8:30 and the line was already long, started at the end of the store. However, it moved fastest, so don't be intimidated. All of the pastries looked very inviting. The croissants were big. They also had several kinds of quiche. Definitely recommend this bakery. It closes on Tuesday and Wednesday

    Such a gem in west Cape May! We tried a bunch of stuff and enjoyed most of it. I'm not a big quiche fan but we tried three different quiches and they were all fantastic! Also loved the cream puff! The almond croissant and sticky bun were good but not over the top amazing. Nice staff and a good selection!

    Been a couple times. The pastries are good, but I can always do without the ego. The young woman who helped us on our first visit was REALLY impressed with herself and the fastidious processes they employ here. Why brag? Just do you, gurl. If it's that hard and fastidious then bake something easier; I'm sure it will still taste good enough for droves of tourists. You're at the beach, just be happy! I see other reviews contending their Frenchness. I'm a Francophile, I was (was) a French major in college, been there a bunch... I couldn't care less if it's authentic or not. Just make it taste good and bring it in at a reasonable price. I find it hard to replicate Euro recipes without ALL the same ingredients used on the Continent, including their fresh perishables (butter, eggs, milk, etc), which you'll never get here. Plus, baking equipment isn't ever the same, etc. So it seems useless to try to make it exactly as they do abroad. Just my two cents about the pomp and fuss with ego going on here. Again, it's decent product. Prices are a bit steep, but eh, it's on the island so comes with the overhead. Just would taste so much better without the heaping side of narcissism.

    Wow. Every item we bought today, our first time stopping here, was amazing. The cinnamon roll was so light and fluffy, I didn't even get a picture. The icing was delicious and sweet but not overpowering. The fruit tart was perfection- as were the mini chocolate chip cookies (sold by the quarter pound). The eclairs was also great so says my partner. We're going back again tomorrow.

    Another lovely new find for us this year on our Cape May vacation. I tried the chocolate chip cookies, financiers and chocolate mousse. All delicious. Cute space. Good parking. I'm sure we will return on a future trip!

    Terrific quiches and desserts (lemon custards and apple tartes). Simple and delicious like it should be. Thank you
